A Compact Mediterranean Professional for Timeless Patio Style
The Mini Olive Bush is an authentic "Mediterranean professional" designed to bring timeless character and silver-green elegance to even the smallest outdoor spaces. This naturally multi-stemmed, bushy form of the classic Olea europaea is exceptionally hardworking, offering a fuller, shrub-like appearance that is perfect for terraces, balconies, and chic courtyard groupings. Its narrow, elongated leaves display a sophisticated contrast—deep, earthy green on top with a shimmering silver underside that catches the sunlight beautifully, providing an evergreen structure and a sense of soft movement all year round.
Despite its compact size, this Mini Olive Bush is rich in ornamental detail and high-performance charm. From May to June, it produces delicate clusters of pale white-green "mignola" flowers, which are soon followed by small ovoid fruits. These olives put on a spectacular colour-changing show, ripening from fresh green to yellow, then purple, and finally a deep purplish-black by autumn. Supplied as a healthy, well-rooted 15cm potted plant, it often arrives already carrying flower buds or early fruit, ensuring an instant patio impact and a genuine Mediterranean feel no matter the weather.
